From Elder Raines: “Ahoj Social Workers'' - group of 10 year old kids that for some reason thought we were social workers. (picture: Elder Raines)
This was the last week of the transfer. It was
filled with fun. Here are some highlights:
- We
met with a less-active, who has a really cool story. He is right now
having some health problems, but he is getting back to health slowly, and
really wants to come back to the church. He has been a member for a long
time, and has decided that now is his time to work on coming back. We had
a great lesson with him, after trying to set-up for almost a month.

- P.
doesn't really want to keep meeting regularly right now, he wants to wait
for a while until he sees the results from training. We are going to work
on having contact with him regularly.
- We
also went and did service in the forest again. And we went mushroom
hunting. Which is a great Czech tradition. We found a lot of very large
mushrooms, and actually fried some of them up. I have pictures, which I
will send next week.
- I
had an exchange with Elder Raines. It was great, we did a table display on
the namesti, which was very successful.

- We
also got transfer calls. I am staying here and training, and so is Elder
Raines in UH. And Sister Dance came from Ostrava to serve with Sister Hayden. Elder
Robinson went to Frydek Mistek to follow up train. Elder Gauldin went to
Olomouc to train and follow up train in a trio. Which is nuts.
- I
don't know the name of my new missionary trainee. We find out Wednesday morning.
Elder Raines and I are companions in UH until we go to Prague tomorrow for
a trainer meeting. We are both training
new missionaries. Then we stay overnight. I saw the picture of the MTC
District (Mom sent it on with names),
and I am very curious...
- I got to chat with President McConkie when he was here for the Wallace Toronto Foundation Service. He is awesome.

- I
appreciate the thoughts about the temple Mom & Dad. I loved going there weekly, and
I have missed attending the temple while I have been here. I plan to go
very frequently, it is always a great place to be.
Spiritual thought for the week is about time. As I
am starting my final transfer I have been thinking about time a lot. I have
recognized that the less and less time I have left, the more and more precious
it becomes for me. So I wanted to quickly talk about the importance of trying
to seize the moment and use it to the fullest. That is my goal for this
transfer. Thanks for all the prayers and support!

From Karen Dean (Elder Dean’s Mom): “When I walked
in to church, I saw him instantly. I told him who I was and said,"You know
I'm going to have to take a picture of you." He knew it. He was my
translator for Sacrament meeting & for Sunday school. He is doing really
well. He looks so happy.”
